[Hackers OST] The track playing during Dade's dream


Hi! Are there any Hackers movie nuts here? I love that movie, and there's a track playing during Dade's dream (Not the one playing during Kate's dream), that I can't seem to find in the OST, or any of the soundtrack released. Although I might have just missed it - but I can't find it listed anywhere either. (There were lists on some sites that marked when each track was played during the movie and this one is never mentioned)

It's driving me up the wall, I find it strange that there's some music that didn't get released?

For those wondering, here's the clip on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GQ1-kyDM98

I hope there's someone out there who can give me peace of mind, haha.

Clip doesnt help much.
There’s also no lyrics could be part of the score. A longer sample needed.

Big nut here, just didnt see this message, could give you all the albums if you’d like.

reply

Yeah, I wish the clip was more helpful but that's literally all there is of the song in the movie, as far as I know. I mean, there's so many soundtracks with both music from the movie and inspired from, etc, so it surprises me that this one isn't somewhere.

reply

It might be, it just doesnt give enough clip for me to pick it up.

On the comments they mention one song but I dont know it.

reply

It sounds like a version of Massive Attack's Protection.

Maybe it's some particular mix of it.

reply

I know protection and it doesnt sound like it at all to me. But if you say so. It is on the list of albums.

reply

I know what you mean, there's a few seconds in that song that could sound like an "original", but at the same time they're too far apart imo.

reply

The clip he sent me was an extended mix version which Ive never heard before that did sound a bit like it but in the soundtracks they have the originals so I dont know.

reply

The beat in "Protection" is pretty stabile, though. It doesn't change much in the song, not even in the linked one. Theres a few seconds in the instrumental that sounds a little bit like the one in Dade's dream, but the beat that comes in at 0.05 - 0.07 in the clip I linked (Dade's dream) is so memorable/easy to recognize, and I haven't heard that in Protection, or anywhere else. I've skimmed all the songs in the original OST and I've checked some of the songs that seem to be "connected" to Hackers, but I've yet to find it.

reply

By the end of the extended mix some of it did sound like it but again in the ost they use the original song which sounds nothing like it to me.

You are aware they are three huge albums right?

If the clip was slightly longer I can probably figure it out. There is this site that tells you the songs to the soundtrack on each scene have you tried that one?
